Hi everyone :)
Double Wear from Estée Lauder has been a firm favourite of mine for a good
couple of years now and I haven't even looked at another foundation since
discovering it. I have quite oily skin so I struggle to find a foundation that
stays put and won't go patchy after a few hours and Double Wear has been the
only one I have used that has actually lasted all day on my skin.
However, a friend of mine was raving about the Urban Decay Naked Skin
foundation and saying that it was an absolute must have so naturally I got
curious. As I am very picky with foundations I got a sample from the Urban
Decay counter in Debenhams so I could try it out before splashing out the £27
it costs. I got two days worth out of the sample foundation but I was left
hooked so I went back the next day to buy it.
There are 18 shades available and I ended up getting 3.5 which is quite
pale but a perfect match for me. My mum decided to get one too but she
struggled a little more with matching up her skin tone but eventually went for shade 7. The coverage is fairly
light with this foundation but it can easily be built up with a couple of
layers which I thought would be perfect for when I'm on holiday and want
something a little less heavy in the day but more coverage for the evening.
It
has a semi-matte finish which I love as it looks really natural and provides a
subtle glow without being too shiny or oily looking. It also dries really
nicely and doesn't feel sticky or mask like on the skin, which I'd say is one
downside to Double Wear (you can really feel that you have makeup on). The
foundation did stay put quite well through the day but not quite as well as
Double Wear. As I mentioned earlier though my skin is oily so it would probably
last all day on someone with combination or drier skin.
Overall I am really happy with the Naked Skin foundation and think it is
a good one for the summer. I'll probably revert back to Double Wear for the
winter and it will always be a firm favourite, but I'm glad I have found
another foundation that can give it a run for its money!
Have any of you guys tried the Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation? Which
other foundations would you recommend?
Thanks for reading :) xx
